 		 #127247 - A bit of a logical fallasy
Responding to: ???'s previous message
using a checksum routine in your code space to check the integrity of your code space doesnt make a lot of sense.Also people confuse a checksum which is simply the two's compliment of the sum of all the data, and a cyclic redundancy check code which is more complex and allows a certain degree of error detection and correction.With a maximum code space of 64Kbytes and a simple checksum would be quick but not very useful.
